    The room and air conditioning was great and the hotel staff was excellent. It was also very nice to have a mid-range priced restaurant on site.

    The fitness area and sauna did not open until 4:00 pm.

    Located in the heart of the city center, this clean hotel offers comfortable rooms and friendly service. the breakfast buffet serves a wide variety of foods, including freshly squeezed juices, meats, hot and cold cereals, and eggs. Some rooms feature laminate wood floors and down comforters for a cozy night's sleep. Guests have access to a sauna and a jacuzzi in the basement. A wonderful choice for anyone looking to stay in a convenient location.

    Noise levels can be an issue for light sleepers as there may be trucks and noise coming from the outside.
